Note the shorter week: it's open Monday to Thursday only, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and road tests are by appointment. Salt Spring Island Fire Rescue Hall #1 is about 130 m from the office, so if a fire truck comes up behind you, signal, pull over to the right and stop.

Salt Spring Elementary School is about 470 m away, Gulf Islands Secondary School about 720 m and Phoenix Elementary School about 740 m. ICBC's examiners say speeding through school and playground zones is a common reason people fail, so watch for school zone signs on weekdays. Map data shows 12 marked crosswalks nearby.

How do I book a road test?
Book online at icbc.com (Book a road test), or call 604-982-2250 in Metro Vancouver, 250-978-8300 in Victoria, or 1-800-950-1498 toll-free; in other areas you can also contact the nearest driver licensing office. You pay the road test fee when you arrive. Cancel or reschedule at least 48 hours ahead, or you'll be charged a $25 fee.
What do I need to bring?
Arrive 15 minutes early with the same ID you used for your learner's licence (one primary and one secondary piece), your learner's licence, payment for the road test fee, and a safe, reliable, insured vehicle with a Canadian licence plate and its registration papers. GPS and navigation must be off, and recording devices aren't allowed during the test.
When can I take the road test, and is there a second test?
New drivers take the Class 7 road test to move from the learner (L) licence to the novice (N) licence; the earliest date you can take it is printed on your licence. Since October 19, 2026, drivers with a novice licence and a clean record no longer take a second road test: a Driving Record Assessment replaces it.
